iPad Air (2025) and iPad (2025) specifications
The iPad Air (2025) boasts a Liquid Retina LCD display, available in two sizes: 11 inches (2,360×1,640 pixels) and 13 inches (2,732×2,048 pixels). For photography, it comes equipped with a 12-megapixel wide rear camera with an f/1.8 aperture, and a 12-megapixel Center Stage front camera with an f/2.0 aperture, perfect for selfies and video calls.
Powered by Apple’s M3 SoC, which Apple claims is twice as fast as the M1 in the previous iPad Air, it operates on iPadOS 18, supporting the latest Apple Intelligence features. Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3, with the Wi-Fi + Cellular model adding GPS and 5G/4G LTE support. The 11-inch variant is fitted with a 28.93Wh battery, while the 13-inch model has a larger 36.59Wh battery, and both support USB Type-C charging.
On the other hand, the iPad (2025) is powered by the A16 Bionic chip, debuting with the iPhone 14 Pro models in 2022. This chip offers a significant performance boost, delivering a 30% increase compared to its predecessor. While it runs on the same iPadOS 18 as the iPad Air (2025), it lacks support for Apple Intelligence. Nonetheless, the base storage has been upgraded from 64GB to 128GB in this new model.
The iPad (2025) features a 10.9-inch (1,640×2,360 pixels) Liquid Retina display with a peak brightness of up to 500 nits, similar to its predecessor.
